A Dave Christiano Film
I was born in 1970 and we used to watch movies like this at church. The first time I saw this movie was in the mid seventies, i wasn’t any older than five years old and I always knew that i would live to see the end of days. Here we are. I have also had prophetic apocalyptic dreams and visions since I was a little girl too. I’ve seen more than I ever wanted to see and I can honestly say that I’m praying to be counted worthy of escaping what’s coming (Luke 21:36 🙏🏼)
My grandpa was Donald W. Thompson, he directed and produced this movie, sadly he passed away in 2019, I think it's so cool that so many people found Christ through this movie, even the main character found Christ through this movie. God bless
That’s awesome
Somebody gave me a VHS tape of this movie in the mid-90s when I became a youth pastor I showed it to my youth group and this started movie night. Quite a few young people got saved because of movie night and lot of this stuff is coming true right now
What a blessing your Grandpa was, he really did the work of the Lord with this movie! A lot of people gave their lives to Christ after watching it and for those of us who are already saved, it helps to strengthen our faith. Sorry to hear about his passing but the silver lining is that he's happy, safe and sound in the loving hands of the Lord. 🙏🏽
Praise the Lord!
I saw “Survival,” and he must’ve been a real kook. Did he really think sending a tiny child on a 35-mile journey across the desert was moral? The Christian characters in that film were both criminal and insane.
I saw this at a church my family attended back in 1980. It FREAKED me out, and I still think about it today. Alot of people got saved there that night, including me.
I watched this movie many times as a kid in the 90s. I have been searching for it for many years. I thank God I finally found it 1/16/25 Amen.
I watched this as a new Christian in '82..It certainly has stayed with me and i remember it and its all unfolding now
I was born again in 82
Watching for the first time! March 31, 2024 - with my husband who saw it as a teen & my youngest son (who has no idea about end times) stay tuned ! Happy Resurrection Day!
Did you watch all 4 parts, or just this one?
@@KristaBrewer-rq7mo
There are 4 parts? Can you give titles?
Well, how did you all like it ? It's my favorite Rapture movie and it's a classic !!
Our church showed this to us back when we were kids in the 80s. This and A distant thunder, back to back. We all got saved that night. It’s nice to see it again. A little refresher course.👍🏾✝️
same did you go to Calvary Chapel
Same. I went to Church of the Open Door in Fayetteville NC. It was a lock-in and I think we watched the first 3 of the 4 movies. Scared the heck out of me and started me on a path of really actually wanting to know what was in the Bible. And that song….i literally never forgot that song and it was 35 or so years ago.
I remember watching when I was 5 years old in 1996. It scared me very much but it lived in my brain and heart for a very long time. Which is why I’m here right now, watching it after 28 years. The message is very powerful
Me too! I always remember these movies being called The Mark.
Yeah, childhood trauma's a bitch
I really love the part where she says if I was the only person on Earth you would still die for my sins. And she's right he would have. This is such love.
Amen. It's not the nails that held Jesus to the cross. It was His love for us that did.
Jenny was actually my favorite character in this movie and I am glad she with her little sister, Susan got to go to Heaven together in the Rapture as sisters!
@@stanleybroniszewsky8538Amen!
I was 8 years old when I gave my life to the Lord , my church showed all 3 of these movies and it has imprinted on me all my life , I am 43 now and boy are we in end times ..we are the generation to see Jesus , exciting times ..thank you for putting these movies on here brings back memories , I have looked for this for years , never knew the name but now I do
You do realize this movie was predicting the end of the world with this fake rapture garbage in the 70's and people were believing it then an it never happened and here you are in 2022 saying we're in the end times. We do not know if we're in the end times. Christ said He doesn't know when God will return therefore, you can NOT know something Jesus does not know.

@@wits2014 No man knowseth the day, nor the hour. No one, not even the angels know when. Only God Almighty knows. King James Bible, the only one which speaks the truth.
@@wits2014 it is blasphemy to think you can know what God Almighty says you cant know.
saw this movie when I was college student in Iowa 1974, now I am 70 and this movie was low budget but really cool. Had a major impact on me. Got baptized two months later and welcomed the Lord into my life..
Make sure to believe the gospel message for salvation found here, 1Corinthians 15 : 1-4 KJV.
@@scarir12 everyone wants to eb right
You must have faith in the blood of Christ Romans 3:25 KJB through the gospel for salvation 1st Corinthians 15:1-4 KJB. Water baptism isn't for salvation now! We get the holy spirit...... Ephesians 1: 13 KJB

I got saved around 1979 after watching this.. I agree.. and seeing everything happening now is incredible
You know I saw this film in in church as a child many years ago and I finally found it again because I couldn't understand it in 1976!
Whos watching this in 2024 my how thing's have changed
I'm 42 I watched this for the first time when I was 9 years old and have never forgotten it. I am watching it with my 9 year old now!
You are correct, unfortunately. USA is being invaded by millions from all over the world, USA is persecuting Christians, infrastructure is being destroyed, Cities, States and USA on verge of bankruptcy, Military supplies at dangerously low levels, lawlessness abounds, TRUTH has become lies and lies have become truth, scary advancements and implementation of AI, nihilism abounds, history is being rewritten (destroyed), rampant sexual immorality and they're after the children, destruction of family values, "they" are destroying the Constitution, they want us to eat bugs no meat, dieing off of citizens who took the pricks, and on and and on. The worst is yet to come.
Im watching now. Well downloading incase i fall asleep.
Me. First time I am seing this. How things were different!
Hairstyles and fashion maybe, but the movie sure nailed the one-worlders. "We don't want to infringe on your rights" they say, just before they infringe on your rights. "And Just as soon as this crisis is over, you can go back to your national independence.," just before they call for a global i.d. and start cracking down on dissenters. Sounds a lot like today imho.
I love e this movie and series so much. Like many, I watched this movie around 10 or 12 years old. It has stuck with me for life. Thank you Jesus . Come Lord.
I saw these in church when I was a young lad. Just turned 50 and I’m spending my NYE watching them all.
I need to seriously start thinking about this and teach others the Gospel as well
Amen but for sure, SHARE IT, WITNESS EVERY CHANCE YOU CAN👍👍🙏🙏🙏
You don't really need to annoy the people around you like jehovah witnesses tbh.
@@davidchill79is talking about Christ is not annoying. He is the King of Kings.
OMG! First time watching this movie! I’m blown away by how good it is! Gave my life to Christ in 2019. Best decision I have ever made! Be ready!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
watcj pt 2 and 3
image of the beast
Our God keep you.
47:59 Listen to what the UN rep says here in this 1973 movie .. and think about what the UN said about those who refused the jab!!!

Indeed it's the best decision anyone could ever make. 👍🏾
Jesus Christ is LORD of all creation.
I’m so happy this film has been added back to YT by Christian Movies 🍿. This Dave Christiano masterpiece is a gem 💎. We’re very close to the end! Can’t wait to see you, Lord Jesus ☦️☦️!!
I remember being shown this movie in junior high Sunday school in 1978 and we were 'very close to the end' then. I realized this whole "rapture" thing is just fear-mongering nonsense. This movie is so ridiculous, so poorly made, written, and acted, it's hilarious to watch as an adult.
I watched this movie in the late 90’s when I was a little girl and it changed my life. I still watch it and now I’m watching it with my children. This movie is so powerful- the message ❤
Years ago I wouldn’t understand at all what they were talking about. Today 2 years after I gave my life to Christ I’ve learned so much and still have a ton to learn. I understand everything that they’re saying.
Heard a pastor say the movie scared him so much he could not sleep for three days. Good movie! And after everything we have been through the last few years…wow.
I just gave my life to God two days ago.
Best decision ever brother Matthew! 🤗 I gave my life to Christ a couple years after this film was made. 46 years ago, and He will never let you go! 😊Look forward to meeting you one day soon!✝️🎺💗🍃
You should get it back
Alleluia! Glory be to God! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Praise God, we're in the end times.
Amen ✝️ ❤️ 🙏
I remember watching this during a church retreat, when one of the cabins we were staying in had an old TV and VHS with a bunch of old tapes lying around. Scared the crap out of all of us, and left an impact that lasted a lifetime. So glad the entire series has been preserved here.
I encourage you to study scripture for yourself and remove anything you've been taught. Here's a few scriptures. The coming and those sealed The Revelation chapters 6 and 7. First Corinthians chapter 15 last trumpet revealed in The Revelation chapter 11. First Thessalonians 4:13-17 the dead rise after the millenniul reign The Revelation chapter 20. The wicked are taken out and destroyed Isaiah chapter 13 Mathew chapter 13. At some point we're taken after the last trumpet to the sea of glass The Revelation 15:2. Eternity is on the new earth The Revelation chapter 21.
I am a believer in Christ and the plan of salvation and saw this movie at my church in the early eighty's.
I just does not sit well with me the impression the movie gives. I don't believe that our Heavenly Father was TS us to run to Him out of fear like a fire insurance policy if that makes sense.
I believe that the Lord wants our hearts and faith to be given to Him out of love and free will. I'm not trying to cut down the fact that the movie could have truly helped some become saved later on in life but I just don't think in fear is going to cut it.
similar with me this scene at 53:44 stuck with me
Ahhh the joys of having lived long enough to more likely die of something besides the Antichrist cutting my head off.
VCY rally anyone...
I have not seen this movie in over 20 years. Fantastic movie. I'm glad You Tube has made this available to watch.
Fantastic? Really?
@@onepunch9203yes
My dad made me watch this movie 21 years ago when I was 3 yrs old, and it still stuck in my head. And I came across the movie today, wow
Powerful! Watching in 2024
My grandma made me watch this movie when I was younger & it terrified the heck out of me. I was so scared that I would wake up one morning & they all would be gone.
Yeah, your Grandma didn’t do you any favors. I’m not anti religion and I believe in God but this movie is a peak example of the disconnect between American “Christianity” and the Worlds Christianity. America is doomed.
@@Bigkingmonster408 your saying that this movie represents “worlds Christianity”?
@@CrayDreZ no, the opposite. I’m saying this movie represents Americans weird distorted version of what they think Christianity is.
It’s based off a type of “preaching” from the great awakening era that basically focused on scaring people into Christianity by telling them they’re going to Hell and how bad Hell is.
This movie does the same thing but also gives a persecution complex to people where it tries to scare us into thinking this movie is exactly going to happen. This is like a fantasy where the reality of the book of revelations may be something different.
When I say American Christianity, I’m talking about this weird culture that was formed that is based on rejecting any kind of logic and the idea that each individual is their own church”. Basically Luther’s Protestantism, which is in all actuality heresy in Christianity.
How can someone be called Christian if they don’t even read their Bible? Instead “Christian’s” rely on media like this movie to “teach” them what in the Bible and all that matters to them is “I know Jesus so I’m saved”. How could you know Jesus even exists if you don’t pick up the Bible?
There is no want to learn amongst these people beyond this and it’s quite lazy and leads to an uneducated view on Christianity. In truth, it’s tainted because it let America seep into it.
My allegiance is to God, not the constitution.
Love this movie definately helps to stay on track with living with the Lord
i watched this movie when i was 14yo at the school, did not understand then but had a great impact in my life. Thank God to that church came to that night to show a film like this. if would not them dunno where i would be now. Praise Jesus. Now i am passing this video again to the next generation, who would thought could be same scenario as mine, 34 years ago.
I really enjoyed this movie, it reminds me that only through the grace and mercy of God are we saved....thank you Jesus
I love the beginning song; “I wish we’d all been ready” 🔥
So many memories being shown this growing up 😁
As campy and low budget as it is, you can't turn away. And I think this series is biblically true to scripture. I love the mans dedication and vision to put this film together. He truley did his part to win souls for Jesus.
May God Almighty bless this christian channel.
This movie has haunted me all my life. I'm 49 now and still remember each scene in my head. It has prepared me for the days we are living in. Stand strong my brothers and sisters may we fight the good fight and remain faithful till the end as this is not our home. Our home is with our Lord. I love you Jesus thank you for saving me, except me into your kindom along with all my brothers and sisters in christ on Jesus name Amen 🙏
❤
Amen can’t wait to go home . I feel more out of place here everyday
Are we all obeying the gospel? We must know God & obey the gospel
Never saw these. I was born again 1991. Not once fear GOD. None. ..just a mess..
*JESUS is COMING SOON!* Around 2 years ago I was out riding my bike along a spot that I'm not too familiar with; I was intently focused on the sidewalk to avoid the pieces of glass, so as to not ride over them. Out of nowhere, I felt that "not home" feeling and didn't like it; as if I am alien to this place. So I started to tell myself *"Well, Jesus is..."* (with me wherever I go) but before I could finish that sentence aloud, my head involuntarily turned to the right and saw a big sign in the grass: "COMING SOON!", thus completing my sentence aloud: "Well, Jesus is *COMING SOON!"*
Quickly I burst into laughter at the timing of this. It was *seamless.* So I went home and called my mother on the phone and told her about it. She quickly said to me: *"That's confirmation!"* - As *soon as she said that,* the memory was brought to my conscious mind that I prayed, *just two days before,* asking the Lord if He really told my mother: *"Soon, child, soon."* bass / baritone range, and cannot scream even close to that pitch in the dream.
I learned later in the day that, just 2 days before my dream, *NY* lit up the *One World Trade* center building *PINK,* _IN CELEBRATION OF_ being able to kill babies in the womb at 9+ months! I was shocked (and disgusted) at how this was the confirmation to my dream. Will we be here to see this? I assumed so, or else I see no other reason why the Lord would show me this dream. With La Palma erupting now, and many have said for decades that if it falls into the ocean, it could cause a tsunami to hit the east coast of the U.S., this might be the tsunami that was shown to me in my dream. Only time will tell, but the timing is amazing. Only a couple of years later this is happening! I believe the tsunami has a connection to the timing of Jesus coming to rapture us out. It could be the sign!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I've been born again since 1996 (at age 17) and my mother has been born again since the early-mid 1970s (her early-mid 20s). We've both had multiple experiences and words from the Lord over the years (about current situations at those times) but *never about anything concerning end times.* Only in the last couple of years did He wake us up to this. So let's keep watch. :)
This series is the best of the end times movies. Hands down.
I was saved at 5 years old watching this movie at the drive in at the Crystal Cathedral in CA. Now 52, love the Lord. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
@Islayman A bit of fear is healthy.
@Islayman fear that causes worry, doubt, stress, anxiety etc is unhealthy fear. The fear u feel when standing on edge at the top of the empire state building is a healthy fear warning u that u are in danger and if u take one more step, the law of gravity will pull your skeleton and flesh to the ground at rapid speed and splatter u across the pavement like pancake batter. The fear of the Lord is a healthy fear and wise.
Proverbs 28:5
[5]Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things.
Hebrews 10:31
[31]It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
So 5 years old go to hell? They are just innocent children.
@@charlielove8909 I never said that 5 year old children go to hell. I said I met the Lord at 5, and it was the beginning of wisdom for me.
@@maryatvintagegemz7907 okay well i believe children go to heaven
I gave my life to the LORD in the spring of 1982 after watching this movie.
Good, God bless you!!! now at this time it is no longer a movie, we are already in the tribulation and the antichrist disguised his mark in a vaccine. The Antichrist is clever enough to fool the world and some Christians too
To fool most it seems
You keep waiting for that then.
That's wonderful!
@@alcidez.A.Torres Cant have a mark of a beast without a beast beloved. The mark must be on the right hand or the forehead just as Scripture states.. We are not in the tribulation yet. The Antichrist does not show up until 3 1/2 yrs into the tribulation. It is coming soon. First Christ will come in the clouds for his elect. Then God will bring his full wrath upon Christ deniers. Have you repented and trusted in Christ with all of your heart mind soul and strength? Unless you repent; you will perish.
I saw this the year it came out. It was shown at my church youth group and it had a profound impact on me. Watching it NOW in 2023, and seeing all of the prophesy being fulfilled before our eyes, I can only conclude that we are very very close to the hour. Don't delay accepting Jesus gift of Salvation NOW!
The Mark, the US AND SAUDI ARABIAN PEACE DEAL. Yeah it’s going to happen
We are in the tribulation already and the va666ine is the mark of the beast.
Amen! So true. I’ve been waiting 54 years and we are in the final days.
Same here. I was six years old. It kind of scared me at the time. Now I smile. I know where i'm going.
Same here, I saw it as a 7 year old and scared me to death but I got saved and watching it again all these years later. Jesus is coming soon
I was only 5 or 6 yrs old when I first watched this movie, I just turned 33, yet still this movie in fact what's being told here has been really impacting. I could remember the songs that 2 ladies sang in the first few minutes- this movie took me years before i heard it again, a time where It had stopped playing in my head. A lot had happened growing up but Jesus was there all along. Thank you God for all those years you're still with us. We can't stop whats in the future but se5can all start believing for Jesus.. Peace yall, greetings all the way from the Philippines 🇵🇭.
First viewing - between 1995-1996
Second viewing - Hello, its 2024
This movie has stuck with me my whole life.
I gave my life to the Lord after watching this precious movie..that was 27 years ago. Thru trials and because of the mercy of God Im here, awaiting His return. Now more than ever!
I want to download that song In The beginning “I Wish We All Been Ready” that song is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Still here in 2025, I always watch this movie as a wake up call for all of us to be on our guard
Wow! I remember watching this movie in the 90s. Only thing I ever remembered was how depressing they sang "You've been left behind" and the Mark of the Beast. I'm so glad I found this movie! So necessary for today!! Lord help us!!
I'm here to deal with some of the trauma I'm still carrying around in my 52-year-old body as a result of watching this as a loving, earnest, sincere, Jesus-loving little gay boy in the early 80s. Multiple trips down the aisle to "make sure" I was saved, calling out for my parents every night to make sure that I hadn't been "left behind." Ugh. I know the creators of this film had good intentions, as did my parents and my church leaders. And it caused so much harm to so many people. Both things are true, all at the same time. I hope and pray that those of us who live with religious trauma can find peace.
Iv been a sleeping Christian for 40 years until i watched Gospel of John on TH-cam and I came out of darkness.
Okay it's on my list now
I just watched it for the third time , yesterday. I have forwarded that movie to others in my family, but they don’t watch , even though they are Christians.
I have been warning them of these times for 25 years, they’ve all considered me to be over-zealous, and now that they can see what is happening, they act like they’ve never heard it before until their Lutheran pastor told them (lately)

I watched this movie for the first time today and I remember the opening song in the church service from something else (or occasion). Anyway, I'm a born again believer washed in the blood of Jesus and the movie still gave me chills when "unity" was searching for the girl! And when it was just a dream and she had to relive everything....Ugh! I was screaming at her!
I sang that song in church in the 70s. My impression after watching this movie for the first time now, is that something is wrong with the pretrib rapture idea. People who are left behind should be able to pray, repent, and refuse the mark and accept Jesus. I believe there will be a remnant who will come to faith during the tribulation. The shepherd would leave the flock to go find the ONE lost sheep. HE doesn't want any to perish and would have mercy on those who seek him.
47:59 Listen to what the UN rep says here in this 1973 movie .. and think about what the UN said about those who refused the jab!!!
@@peachBloom he certainly did in my case, Peachy. 😉😎. Revelation ch. 7 shows the sending of 144,000 evangelists 'from the 12 tribes of Israel'. Ch. 11 has 2 witnesses preaching in Jerusalem. The thing to do is to keep an eye on Israel...this is where it all goes down. Blessings and peace to you and yours
I got saved in 73 the same yr. this movie was made.I was almost 20, long hair, smoking weed in the park and a preacher man came through. I felt drawn to go and hear what he had to say, so I went while my buddies were laughing and calling me a Jesus freak. My first persecution and I got saved that night. Christ drew me like a magnet picking up iron.Many ups and downs in those 50 plus yrs., but the Lord has never left nor forsaken me. Maranatha.
Amen
This movie traumatized me as a kid!!! Now it's become a reality!!! I love God!!!
I saw this in my church as a kid about 7 years old. Scared me to death but I never forgot about it. Last year I gave my life to Jesus and I'm just glad I did it in time! Please, if you haven't given your life to Jesus, do it before it's too late bc whether you believe in Jesus or not, He is coming back to take his people. The Bible says "every knee shall bow , every tongue shall confess" .
These are the films we need to watch these days
Was "the" really that hard to type?
Hehe my bad..corrected
I wish they made movies like this now!
Christian movies have improved in quality over a thousand percent. But this remains a must watch classic.
This film is bullshit ❤
God bless y’all ❤
I remember seeing this in 1976 as a six-year-old and understanding it because I was a a pastors kid and giving my life to Jesus as a six-year-old and now all these years later, I still enjoying it, and the second part of distant thunder and the rest of them as wellstill very relevant. We are getting close to the return of Jesus Christ.
I suppose we shouldn’t like a low budget early 70’s Christian rapture movie, but it holds up surprisingly well. Simple, sincere, likeable characters 👍

I watched this movie in Sunday school as a kid and it gave me panic attacks and nightmares for years.
I used to be afraid of the end. Now I only fear my own impurity before Him. May we all be washed clean before the terrible day of the Lord.
Repent every day. Don't allow Satan to discourage you and allow you to give up. No matter how many times you fall, repent and move forward. God just wants you to seek him, he doesn't expect you to be perfect. Aim for perfection, but know you won't be on this Earth.
Continue to CONFESS your faults before CHRIST
I saw his movie over 30 years ago. It really made me think of my relationship with Jesus. People, the hour is getting closer!
This movie is coming true! Let’s get ready to meet the Lord.

Same here. Good times.
I saw this movie in junior high, and even though I was already a believer it scared me to death. Now I CAN'T WAIT for Jesus to come take us home.
I was in eighth grade, 1972. That song haunted me and I read my Bible every day to be sure and be ready, so Im ready still waiting and wont be left behind.. through many trials Jesus has been with me every step of the way.
any day now :)
I saw this at 13. The fear of being left behind overrode my own (Bible-based) logic and I had trouble even reading Revelation for years.
Haven't felt safe since.

Wow, I was born in 1972, in catholic Ireland. Thank God I was saved as a child. This movie is so timely. He's speaking about the mark, so spot on . I'm so ready to meet the Lord. The spirit of antichrist is everywhere. No truth in anyone. The love of money has taken this world over.
I’m happy most of cast is still living Patty, Jerry, Diane are alive. Jim and Jenny were married in real life Jim passed last year unfortunately.
I watched this show after church my pop was a pastor I watched it back in the 90’s everything in this movie word from word to a tee is happening right now open your eyes and give your heart to the lord and repent AMEN ❤ 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
This film answers and explains a lot in layman’s term so I understand, good film to rewatch!
No one is perfect just forgiven and saved by the grace of Jesus Christ
@Islayman
If you bothered to read the Bible specifically the New Testament the book of Mark will help you understand...
Proverbs and Psalms written by King Solomon and King David, the wisdom is undeniable if you sincerely seek the truth see without faith you will not understand anything written in the Bible...Good luck friend...
I also saw this movie as a little girl. Scared the crap out of it. My dad took us three little girls and my brother to go see it at a church in Bremerton, Washington. Now I’m a grandma & my grown children said they watched a scary movie last night. I said no you have not until you watch this!! Lol
I’m from Olympia. My husband was born at Harrison Memorial Hospital in Bremerton, his family moved to Tacoma and then to Sequim. I love Washington State but I love The Lord more! I’ve never seen this movie until tonight it popped up on my feed. I know Jesus wants me to watch it, I’ve always believed in the rapture of the church. Amen. We wait for our King to come for us.
Exactly!!! It wrecked me for years. Even my preacher said it was made to scare kids out of hell ... And it scared him too he had a very similar situation to me where he couldn't find his mom in the house and he thought the rapture had happened and he had been left behind. I still have ptsd lol
@@jennifercleveland5703 I saw it at 9 years old. At 58 years old, I still remember how it terrorized me. I awoke up alone in the house a week later and had my first panic attack. I thought my parents had been taken up and that I had been left behind. They were actually next door visiting neighbors. I still resent that I was made to watch this crock of crap. This movie combined with all the other religious BS scare tactics I was exposed to growing up contributed to my diagnosis of PTSD.
@@cynthiaw.3321 I'm so sorry...I get it. As an adult I am still a Christian but for many many many years this movie pushed me away from religion, unlike so many of these people saying it drew them closer to it. I wanted nothing to do with the religion that was talking about scary stuff like this. I know it sounds stupid to have P TSD from a movie but that's pretty much what I felt for years. And same thing I thought my mom had been raptured up and I couldn't find her. I may have said this in my comment my preacher even said he went through the same thing after watching it and that it's basically meant to scare kids out of hell.
@@jennifercleveland5703 Thank you for your comment. I am not a Christian but I do believe in a divine creator who would never bring about this kind of unrelenting fear to his people. My parents were southern baptists from the Bible belt so you can just imagine the things I was taught. Even playing a card game of gold fish was a sin. Dancing was a sin and I loved to dance. I'm so glad I didn't inflict this on my own children
They are the ones who helped me see the truth and the light.
This movie is both thrilling and a wonderful message/warning.
Who’s watching in 2023 ? Let’s us continue to be ready. Accept Jesus into your heart 🙏🏾
2023 and I feel it’s so close now! How different things are.
I'm watching and ready everyday for His return. First Thessalonians 4:13-18
Still
Repent and be baptized and believe in Him. Trust Him. You are saved through grace by faith. Not works. God bless brothers and sisters in Christ. We are so close...
It's December 2023. The bible Prophecy is now fulfilled, and Jesus Christ is coming very soon as you can see how wicked evil people are now in life. Hell on earth already is just the beginning and it will get worst. The whole earth is a nightmare worse than any horror movie. Crime and violence everywhere. The love for God is near Gone as Satan takes over. Falsegods and fake Christians and lovers of pleasures and material things. Every kind of sin committed under the sun. High technology is here and so much more to list. Wars going on in different countries. So much going on. The earth being destroyed. May God h ve Mercy. 🙏 The time is running out. Some of us has come to the Lord. Live for God. Crying out to the Lord Jesus to be SAVED. Read Revelation. Peace and love to all. In God We trust. Run to Jesus .
My Mother told me about this creepy movie about People being left behind after the rapture she watched when she and my aunt watched it at a church camp on a reel projector in the 1970's as kids. She really wanted me to see the series.
She kept saying "Left Behind", but I'm pretty sure she confused these movies with the Left Behind movies with Kirk Cameron. When I found this with the information she gave me about the movie this came up. I showed it to her and she was shocked that it actually hit dvd due to it being on a reel like a 'camp movie'.
Incidentally if anyone has ever used that word "campy" for a film that's literally where the name came from; old reel films that you'd watch in a summer camp or church camp, etc. that really wouldn't be expected in theaters and so forth. A lot of them if I am correct were actually made for such events.
I'm really glad this one made it. I got to watch something with my mother she watched as a child in my 40's. Back in the 1970's the movies made for suspense and horror were waaaaaay different from what have today. Of course... gratuitous retarded violence and sex isn't my thing.... anymore. I was quite the connoisseur of horror movies once upon a time until I came to The Lord.
You know what's interesting though? I was so desensitized to that crap I could watch almost anything and not be phased by the content. I remember in my early 20's my buddies and I would have conversations and hoo-ha's about "The Death Scenes". It's interesting how after we come to The Lord that those kinds of things are absolutely repulsive. He really does change the mind and the heart.... if we let him.... and don't fight The Holy Spirit.
Anyways... thanks for putting these movies up. God bless!!
Some words we won't use in the Kingdom of GOD! I used to say the "f" word all day LONG.
@@SOULRELIEF22 Yeah.... I did, too. Once in a blue moon it still comes out when the world crashes down around me, but that's a rarity among rarities anymore.
1 Thessalonians 5:4 KJV
4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
This movie has mislead countless people.
@@jswhosoever4533 Can you clarify?
@@jswhosoever4533 I think I see what you're saying, but the whole movie isn't bad though...
The part where he says "The Spirit of God leaves"......... that can't be right because there will be Christians after we're gone, and you can't be a Christian without The Holy Spirit dwelling in you, that and we NEED The Holy Spirit as Christians. So is that what you meant?
I came to receive God’s salvation through Jesus, His Son, after watching this film. It generated such fear in me to move me to repent and to ask God to forgive me and save my soul. Praise God.
Yep. That's the whole idea:
Obedience via fear-mongering.
It's been working well for millenia.
this is my favorite end times movie and too the other 3.
I saw this movie when I was thirteen now I’m 50. I’m a Christian but had this movie in my mind for quite some time now. Glad I found it here.
1 Thessalonians 5:4 KJV
4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

Interesting how such an old movie has so many recent views and comments......must be a sign of the times. 🙏
And we all met here and sought this movie out. Good Lord, help us
I saw the movie in a youth group back in the early 90's, and recent times have me seeking it out again. I couldn't even remember the name of the movie...but did some searching and found it. As teenagers, we made fun of the cheesy effects and fashions of the movie (as teenagers will do)...but as I've gone through adulthood, I've thought back to this movie many times as I see how the world (and out country) have developed since then.
Don't be stupid
Who else suffered deep and pervasive childhood trauma because of these crazy ass movies?
I did and ..yes they are crazy.. Look at the crazy comments ..these people are creepy
this is one i like the most of rapture movies thank you so much for keeping this on ytube god bless you
it still stays with me
My heart was touched by Jenny' simple & humble prayer to Jesus. A prayer of repentance. I repeated the same prayer after her. I know that you've heard my prayers dear Lord Jesus & forgiven me. Thank you Jesus.
My first time watching these movies in 2023 and im so thankful Jesus is my Lord
This movie preached in my life in late 1990'. I was saved then through the Lord Jesus Christ 🙏
It’s been 50 years now and this movie has been more relevant 😔
That is what I thought i was remembering this movie that wmovie i saw it when I was young but i feels like i am living the movie. i am very scare too . But want to go with the Lord in the rapture
You do realize this movie was predicting the end of the world with this fake rapture garbage in the 70's and people were believing it then an it never happened and here you are in 2022 saying we're in the end times. We do not know if we're in the end times. Christ said He doesn't know when God will return therefore, you can NOT know something Jesus does not know.
This is such an amazing movie to me and I love it so much!!!
I seen this movie as a kid and it frightened me but now it's coming or already here.
This is the movie that helped me accept Christ at eight years old
I don't know if Patty Dunning has done any interviews about the movie or not but for the most part all the actors were excellent. (Keep in mind this is a 70's movie.). Someone said she is a physical therapist but maybe she is married to Steven Dunning who is a physical therapist in Iowa. This movie deserves high remarks for being well made.
I read that she became a Christian after making these movies. Praise the Lord
I love this movie. Especially when the poor girl wakes up and realizes that it actually happened. And the song,"Life was filled with guns and war." We used to sing it in my fellowship, and I still sing it today after 45 years. Dear friends, don't give up, as Andre Crouch would say, "It won't be long, soon we'll be leaving here. We really must hold on, one can now see the signs on an enormous scale ( The Russian/ Ukraine crisis) etc.
Yep, there was never a war before Russia invaded Ukraine. No matter how many wars and "signs" come and go without this fairy tale coming true, people keep insisting that their generation will be the last, and they've been wrong for two thousand years so far. People really do never learn.
@@Corn_Pone_Flicks , OH yeah, just like evolution is a fairytale for adults. No moron is going to dictate my actions or the actions of any true believer. Touche'.
Me too. I am 50. I am having manifestations in Rockford, IL. That song and drums. Chilling.
@@luvarn2 , Thank you for your timely comment- I was looking for the film, got side tracked, then forgot the name.( Heh,heh) sometimes I laugh at myself. But now, I can watch it again- thanks! And manifestations? God has a habit of communication with us on a wavelength which we can understand. MARANATHA!
I love this song, still do ❤️
Our church showed this film in th 1970s. For my 13th birthday I took my closer friends to watch it at another church. Widespread church youth groups were gathered. My burden was so great for their souls. Now multitudes can see this & the 3 following movies for free. How my burden must increase. Let's share & spread the Truth! Thank you Jesus!!!
I saw this Movie in 1988 I Rent From The Church iwas going to It is A good Movie Learning about the Jesus and the Rapture and the End Times.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Very powerful, and particularly pertinent now with what is unfolding. Jesus is coming soon!
Sure, let me know in 30 years when you're still saying that.
@@7armedman Get out of here! Go back from whence you came!
@@ArkOmen1 I came from Heaven, name's Jesus. IS YOUR MIND BLOWN NOW???
@@7armedman I'm glad you are here to hear the truth, even if you don't believe. May the Lord give you the heart to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as your saviour before He comes. God shine His blessed face on you, and his hand of protection on you and yours.
These mockers on this thread are the result of the LIES of PRE TRIBBERS for the past 50 years blabbling about Jesus "coming SOON".
I guess *@the LAST Trumpet* is too complicated for the blind n deaf.
PRE TRIB is the reason the mockers will come mocking and THE cause of the multitudes who will fall away from the faith.
All of you *"RAPTURE SOON"* liars will have their blood on your heads as well as the many who have been turned away from God because of your Pre Trib LIES of a false promise of *"COMING SOON"*
This classic movie is almost fifty years old but God Word is coming to past today in 2021 as never be for Amen 🙏🙏 o
@Islayman One can only hope.
Ah, the 70's, 80's and 90's, I loved those days,
I wish I could go back.
Good times, good times. 🥰👍💯
My mother showed this movie to me for educational purposes. Unfortunately I have developed a nightmare syndrome and a panic disorder due to her fundamental and sometimes cruel teachings
I was raised in a bit of a doomsday cult and spent the better part of my youth preparing for armageddon. I finally came to my senses. I am so so so thankful to those who dropped crumbs that led me to the light. It's so good to be free of this thinking.
Hi Monty, I don't believe that God wants us being feared to run to Him for a fire insurance policy.
I do however believe that He loves each and every walk if life and wants our hearts out of love and faithfulness for Him. God bless you sir.
@@vickiehawkins7710 he loves us soo much that he'll burn us eternally if we don't love him back
@@holyheathen435 Hell is eternal separation from God and He wants to save you from it - to the point of dying for you even while you reject Him. You dismiss and mock Him while you don't even realize that every good thing that you have in your life came from Him, not because you deserve it but because He' wants you to know His grace. So the question for you is why are you openly rejecting God's saving of you? Why are you choosing hell?
@@indepthdiscussion7670 eternal separation you say?? well then he must not be omnipresent because then separation would be logically impossible besides doesn't the bible you so revere say nothing can "separate us from his love" not even death? Total annihilation on the other hand would make a lot more sense as I never consented to the hell on earth I've gone through all my life to begin with and if you say God's responsible for all the good in my life is that to excuse him from all the bad? I'm sorry but I'd reject him to his face if he existed for being such a narcissistic, egoistic, maniacal psychopath in severe need of therapy both psychiatric and psychological or maybe just shoulder to cry on. Fortunately, such god doesn't exist except for in the minds of a few sycophants.
@@holyheathen435 he doesn't burn us. We choose that if we want. He loves us so much that he sent his SON to die a sinners death to shed blood to wash our sins away. He wants you to see how much he loves you. His spirit will speak to you when you declare you believe he died for you and ask him into your life. He will lead you the right way in life. He has blown my mind so many times. I've woken up with $10,000 in my bank 2 days after I asked him to remind me of his goodness. He is very real. He is waiting for you ❤️
I wonder if the Devil tried to interfere with the Production of this movie🤔My Dad helped produce these movies; he was good friends with Mr. Gabus🙏😉I was 6 when this movie was made. 8th grade for Distant Thunder; my Dad took me to that!❤🕊
That is a good question. I’m glad your dad let you come to A Distant Thunder when these were in the movie theaters.
Thank God for your Dad🙏 He did Gods will!
@@PNWOlygurl66 yes ma'am, he sure did! He was a "Soul Winner!" Very strong Christian Man! I miss him. He died, while Golfing ⛳ at the 2nd Hole, by the Big Oak Tree, where he had gotten Saved 20 yrs earlier!✝️✝️✝️❤️He was 57. Massive Heart attack 😔
@@PNWOlygurl66 My Dad led me to Christ when I was 23. He got the Pleasure of watching his youngest daughter, out of 3, get Saved and Baptized, 2 years before he passed; I saw him just "Beaming" out in the Church Congregation 😉BIG OLE SMILE 😁 on his face!😘
@@SuperSpieth Jordan, my Dad took me to the Pre-Screening at Tech High School in Des Moines, Iowa, where it was filmed and where we're from. First Showing of Distant Thunder ⚡🎥🍿✝️✝️✝️👏👏👏The place was Packed Out! I think it changed MANY Lives that night🛐🙏✝️🕊️❤️
I watched this series of movies in the mid 70s with our church group. It put the fear of God in me then. I watched again last week and was amazed how many things are coming true NOW. Well, it's not surprising as it's all laid out in the Bible. Keep looking up!
Cheesy it may be like what others says, I don't care. I love this move. Thank you pastor from Cornerstone Church. Watching from the Philippines. JESUS IS COMINS SWIFTLY!
Great Movie,I itwill never Get Old.❤
My church had us watch this when I was a kid. I was terrified. I think that's when I realized what the fear of the Lord was as a kid. The song stuck with me all of this time as well.
Yes The song 🥹🥰🙏🏾
Traumatizing.
this is the movie that traumatized me as a teen and ultimately made me brake up with the church and christianity. back to see how it feels now after 20 years
